The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 83 Qingshan
"Mother." Nuo'er came out after praying, there were too many people in the temple, and Nuo'er hadn't taken the exam in recent years, so she didn't have much interest, although she came out after a few incense sticks, Mr. Ji just had a look.

Not to mention Xie Zhimo, all he was thinking about was Yao Yu, and when he came out of the temple, he saw Yao Yu looking up into the distance, the breeze blew past, and took a strand of Yao Yu's hair, making Xie Zhimo stare blankly. in place.

Xie Zhiwen also heard Nuoer's cry, and now he looked up and saw Xie Zhimo, and quickly turned his head away, for fear that others would know that they knew each other.

"Are you hungry? Come and eat quickly." Yao Yu pulled back from her thoughts and quickly got up to let the three of them sit down.Of course, the top seat is reserved for Mr. Ji. Xie Zhimo and Nuo Er sit next to Mr. Ji's left and right hands respectively, and Yao Yu sits at the bottom.

Xie Zhimo’s position happened to be facing Xie Zhiwen’s group of people. After Xie Zhimo had a conversation, he realized that Xie Zhiwen was sitting opposite, his expression was a little gloomy. When Xie Zhimo saw Xie Zhimo saw himself, he quickly lowered his head in fright. A trace of coldness flashed in Xie Zhimo’s eyes , but returned to normal soon.

"Grandpa Ji, why do you think there are students who come to this Qingshan Temple to worship every day, but don't spend time on their studies?" Just now after Nuo'er entered the temple, he heard people around him say that several students came to worship every day. Nuoer really can't figure out how many hours he has come to Qingshan Temple to worship, and these few hours can be used to read books.

"Before the college exam starts, candidates will be a little nervous. Maybe coming here to pray for blessings can relieve their pressure, but if you blindly pin your hopes on Qingshan Temple and don't pay attention to study, you will definitely not have ideal grades." Ji Lao Mr. Dao said that obviously he also disapproved of candidates spending all their hopes on praying for blessings.

Yao Yu nodded, "You reap what you sow, just don't forget your original intention."

Xie Zhiwen secretly laughed at what Yao shi said to the old man here, it was a joke, this Qingshan Temple relied on the Feng family in Hehua Town for its survival, whoever dared to say that would have slapped the Feng family in the face.Although the students who were with Xie Zhiwen wanted to refute it, they felt that what the old man said was very reasonable and could not refute it.

The displeasure in Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows became even more obvious. This group of mountain and field peasants came from nowhere, and they were not afraid of losing their teeth when they spoke nonsense.Mr. Zhao is also from the Feng family, so of course he would be unhappy to hear someone say that, but Yao Yu and his party obviously don't care if Mrs. Zhao is happy or not, and Yao Yu has no respect for the magistrate Feng of Hehua Town. any favors.

The student next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly, "According to what you say, this Qingshan Temple is a useless place?"

Old Master Ji and Yao Yu just said that there is no benefit in worshiping blindly, and it is better to focus more on studying, but this student deliberately misinterpreted it as saying that the temple is useless, obviously this view is based on nothing.

Mr. Ji's face darkened at the moment, but Yao Yu replied with a smile, "The Sixth Patriarch once said, 'Dharma is in the world, you can't realize it without leaving the world, and seeking Bodhi after leaving the world is just like asking for the horn of a rabbit'." Even the Buddha has a mortal side, we must respect it. Reality, combined with reality, comprehend the law from the reality, and understand the truth." After speaking, Yao Yu deliberately emphasized, "Respect the reality, don't deliberately distort the facts, understand?" Yao Yu deliberately used the words of the Sixth Patriarch, one is It shows that they did not disrespect the temple, and secondly, they wanted to use the respectful words in it to ironically distort the facts by the student's words.

The student certainly didn't expect a village woman to be able to spit out lotus flowers, and he was blocked at the moment and didn't know how to respond.

On the contrary, old man Ji nodded repeatedly, and asked with a smile on his eyes, "Girl, have you read "The Six Patriarch Altar Sutra"?"

"No way, I just heard people talk about it." Yao Yu replied with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't know Ding Dong." Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly.

Yao Yu naturally chose to ignore it again, "Are you hungry?" Yao Yu asked, took out the buns from the food box and shared one among everyone.

Xie Zhiwen and his party came up the mountain, they only brought some desserts, they didn't bring any dry food, they set off early in the morning, and they will sit here, drinking cold water and eating snacks without heat.A gust of wind blew, and the meaty aroma of Yao Yu's steamed stuffed buns spread directly to the noses of the group of people, who swallowed their saliva, and the sound of gurgling was very obvious.

Xie Zhiwen glanced at Yao Yu, and thought in his heart, this Yao family is too ignorant, and he didn't say to get a copy for himself, anyway, he is also going to take the hospital examination soon.

After eating the buns, Yao Yu opened another food box, which contained the multigrain cakes made today, and Nuoer took it happily, "I haven't eaten this for a long time."

Yao Yu poured Nuo'er a cup of hot water, "Drink first."

Nuo'er was already tired from climbing the mountain. After drinking two sips of water, she began to eat the multigrain cakes. There are crispbreads in the multigrain cakes, so they will make a rattling sound when eaten.

This time, the group of people on the right couldn't be calm anymore. It was the same woman who asked Yao Yu to move her place before, and came over, "Oh, do you still have this thing?" She seemed to have some impression that she used to buy it in Lotus Town I did, but I can't remember it for a while.

Yao Yu glanced at the woman, "I don't call you either."

The woman choked, "No matter what your name is, can I buy food from you? Can I sell this cake?"

Yao Yu shook her head, "I don't have this anymore." She made grain cakes and steamed stuffed buns according to the head, and there were only four servings.

The woman glanced at the food box, it was indeed empty, and walked back lonely, knowing that she would not bring any snacks.

Master Zhao saw that the four people over there were eating deliciously, so he swallowed silently, "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain slowly." If he stayed any longer, he felt that he might starve to death.

When the students heard this, they all agreed. The group of people didn't go far, and Yao Yu took out the bean curd mold and steamed buns from the food box again.

Seeing the steamed buns, Xie Zhimo laughed, "Did Yu'er not want to sell food just now?"

Yao Yu retorted, "The woman just asked me if I had any more multigrain cakes, and I didn't lie to her. I really don't have any more multigrain cakes."

Nuo'er didn't care, picked up a steamed bun and bit it down. He had already exhausted his physical strength after climbing the mountain today. If Yao Yu sold the food, they would really not be full.

After the four of them were full, they packed up their things and walked slowly down the mountain. Nuoer seemed to be interested in the plants in the mountain, and asked questions while walking, while Xie Zhimo answered them. Yao Yu took this opportunity to recognize some of them again. Less wild vegetables.

"This is Artemisia annua seedlings. It can be eaten or used as medicine. It is the best medicine for sore throat." Xie Zhimo said.

Yao Yu was taken aback, Baihao, this is a good thing, "Wait for me." After Yao Yu finished speaking, he began to pick Baihao.

The two picked several food boxes in a short while, and Nuo'er asked from the side, "Mother, is there any delicious food?"

Yao Yu replied affirmatively, "Yes." Some time ago, all the corn in the backyard was ripe, and Yao Yu steamed a small part and ate it, and put the rest in the yard to dry. Xie Zhimo went to grind it into cornmeal. As for the white wormwood, Yao Yu had already figured out how to do it.

Mr. Ji was also looking forward to it. He hadn't eaten Artemisia baicalensis as a dish, let alone Xie Zhimo. When he heard that Yao Yu had something new to cook, he picked Artemisia baicalensis twice as fast.

"Let's go, go home." Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo stopped when the food boxes couldn't fit.

Walking down the mountain, I found that Xie Zhiwen and his group were still standing there, as if they were discussing something, Xie Zhimo went to lead the carriage out, and when everyone was about to set off, they heard a female voice not far away shouting, "Third brother."

Yao Yu opened the curtain and saw that it was Xie Xiuhong. Seeing that Xie Zhimo had stopped the carriage, Xie Xiuhong trotted over, "Third brother, something happened at home. Fourth brother and I are in a hurry to get back in your carriage." ?"

When the student saw that Yao Yu still had a carriage, he was immediately surprised. There were no more than five taels of people in Hehua Town who had carriages, not to mention that they were from the village.

Immediately, some students asked, "Zhiwen, what does your brother do? Can you still afford a horse?"

When Xie Zhiwen heard this question, his face turned black. It's okay not to mention it, but he felt ashamed when he mentioned it, "I don't know what they are doing, anyway, we have separated long ago."

"Separation?" The man nodded knowingly, "It doesn't look like a serious business."

The female relatives in the crowd said coldly, "Just by looking at that woman, it's not a serious business."

Several students looked at Yao Yu with a clear expression. How could the peasant women in the village have such a face and figure? Even wearing the most ordinary clothes could not hide Yao Yu's beauty.

Yao Yu also noticed a few unfriendly looks, and immediately put down the curtains in displeasure. Xie Zhimo could feel that Yao Yu was a little unhappy, so he stopped talking to Xie Xiuhong, and drove away in the carriage.

Xie Zhiwen came over and asked Xie Xiuhong, "Stay away from them."

Xie Xiuhong lowered her head. She just saw Xie Zhimo's horse was red and beautiful. The female family member in the crowd was said to be the niece of Fengzhi County. She can sit in such a carriage, but Xie Zhimo doesn't know that she doesn't talk to her at all.

"There is still something to do at home, so let's go back first." After Xie Zhiwen finished speaking, he dragged Xie Xiuhong away.

After the two left, no one noticed that there was an extra look in the crowd looking at Xie Xiuhong.
